Don't cheap out and you'll never regret it. I agree with Skeletor: my Camelback Talon has been all over the world with me, in and out of some rough places, camping, hiking, flying, and generally carrying my crap every single day since 2007 including four trips to the sandbox. You can't even tell that it's not brand new unless you examine it closely. Any good MOLLE pack, one with velcro to put on a name tape or unit/morale patch, and ideally hydration capable, is worth far more than its weight in gold. Which one is mostly a matter of preference, but I'd say: get the one with the most comfortable shoulder straps.
Cordura FTW. Greatest thing to happen to fabric since ever.
